Psalms 37:16 CPDV

¹⁴  But, like someone deaf, I did not hear.And I was like someone mute, not opening his mouth.

¹⁵  And I became like a man who does not hear,and who has no reproofs in his mouth.

¹⁶  For in you, Lord, I have hoped. You will listen to me, O Lord my God.

¹⁷  For I said, 'Lest at any time, my enemies might rejoice over me,' and,'While my feet are being shaken,they have spoken great things against me.'

¹⁸  For I have been prepared for scourges, and my sorrow is ever before me.
